A decent start to the season it has been for the Colombo Kings, they have picked up a satisfactory four points from three matches to occupy third-place on the log. Delivering a shambolic performance on the last matchday, CK were given a hiding by Dambulla Viiking. Becoming only the second side to be bowled out so far, CK succumbed to their first defeat this season. Now, they will be bent on returning to winning ways in this fixture versus Jaffna Stallions. Music to Angelo Matthews ears the skipper has a fully fit squad at his disposal. While they may be short-handed in the bowling unit, the Colombo Kings all-rounder and middle-order slots are well-stacked with the right ammunition. With the likes of Matthews, Isuru Udana and Andre Russell in CKs ranks, they stand a decent chance here.
Union is another metropolitan team, which spends only its second season in the Bundesliga. We have to admit that the iron really look very good at this stage of the season. In the last round they parted with Eintracht (3:3). It is curious that by the 6th minute the Eagles were losing 2:0 and by the end of the second half the Berliners were losing 2:3. And only 10 minutes before the final whistle they managed to equalize the score to 3:3. The saving ball is in the asset of Max Cruz (he scored a double). The striker has already scored 6 goals this season. Union continues their unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga. They already have 8 matches in a row (4 victories and 4 draws). The team scored 21 goals and conceded 11. Only Bayern are more productive in the German championship. The “iron” ones have already played 4 fights, having 2 wins and 2 draws. The number of goals scored and conceded is 7 and 4, respectively. In all 4 fights the bet was recorded on “both will score – yes”. Yoel Pohjanpalo and Christian Gentner will not play.
